Hello! Wow.. this chapter is pure chaos... Gomen, but I don't have humor in here. If you have read Fruits Basket Vol.4 a few times before you wrote this, you just simply CAN'T have humor because of the angst and drama the fourth manga has..
Oh, heck with it! I wanna put a lil section right here thats mainly about Fruits Basket Vol.4! The beginning sure is funny!! But when Akito shows up, it got really tense... Oh, I so wish I could have been there for Yuki-kun! Tohru felt Yuki's fear so she pushed him slightly and pulled Yuki away giving the excuse that she and Yuki were going to be late if they didn't hurry to class. Yuki looks at her thankfully. As Akito walked by, Kyo-kun saw him and glared daggers at him.. Most mysterious, huh? Akito just smiled murderously. Oh, I really don't wanna give any more spoilers out!! Gomen! Gomen! On with the story!!
Chapter 4: Hidden Emotions
Kyo was in his room thinking hard about what happened today. It was already 12 o'clock at night. He went to his window and gaze at the bright, yet small, illumination of the stars. (The roof was wet so he can't really stargaze there..)"In all this excitement... I forgot who that person suddenly is... Honda Kyoko..m-mother..? No!!!" Kyo thought painfully, a single tear slid down his face.
"There's still so much I haven't understand yet.. about this discovery and what it really means... Guess I'm in denial... Damn you, Akito...." Kyo thought angrily, punching the wall, giving it a hole.
Kyo looked at the wall with a sweatdrop. A knock on the door caught his attention.
"Kyo, open up." Yuki said, from outside.
Kyo reluctantly obeyed, but only because the rat helped him earlier.
"What do you want?!" Kyo asked, in his usual voice reserved for Yuki. His cousin stepped inside then closed the door. "Eh...?"
"I knew you were lying to Honda-san, but I also knew that you lied intentionally to save her from worry. Now tell me. What's wrong?" Yuki asked with a little bit of concern in his voice.
"Despite our differences, you're being way too nice, and why should you care?!" Kyo asked suspiciously looking at him.
Yuki looked sullen for a moment. "Because... Akito is a natural for manipulating people through mental abuse. It's none of my business, yes, but I don't want to see another person become tormented by him.... " Yuki said, then whispered gloomly, "... like I was..."
"H-He didn't do that... At least I think not... He said something... Something I can't ignore.. I really don't know what to do... " Kyo said, whispering the last part with his head hung low.
"...Akito's object of torment.... was Yuki..." Kyo thought as he felt pity for his cousin.
"Whatever it is... you can always find me to confide in... " Yuki said, giving him a smile before he turned his back, "...even if we are natural born enemies...". At that, Yuki walked out of Kyo's room to the hallway.
"D-Did... he just smile... at ME?!" Kyo thought, "He never smiled at me before, at least not in a good way"
"He has gone too far... " Yuki thought angrily, as he walked towards his room down the hallway. "Akito... first he messes with me then he goes to Kyo once he's bored?! If I don't put an end to this soon... He'll mess with everyone!!"
"Yuki-kun." a voice from behind him said softly. He turned his head slightly to face the person whom spoke. It was Tohru. She appeared to have been crying, since her cheeks appeared to be wet.
"Honda-san, what--" Yuki said, surprised that she was awake at so late at night.
"Kyo-kun was lying... I know he was... I know To-san told me that I must believe in people. But this time... I know that Kyo-kun lied..." Tohru said softly. Yuki walked up to her slowly.
"Honda-san..." Yuki said with guilt. He placed his hands on Tohru's shoulders to comfort the usually-smiling girl.
"But why must Kyo-kun lie? What could possibly make him lie to us? He must have a reason, right, Yuki-kun??" Tohru asked.
"Hai, you're right... He does have a reason... Whatever it is... it's something more serious than it appears... Kyo isn't acting alright... " Yuki said, coming clean about his suspicions, "Whatever it is I'm going to get to the bottom of it." He was going to explain to Tohru about his plans. Because he, as much as she, wanted Akito, the terror of the Sohma's lives to be relinquished.
